I would say this is a case for "rough consensus and working code". With something as big and ugly[1] as a regexp library, I think the "working code" part will be the hard part. So, if you have a patch, there's a decent chance such a thing would be adopted. I'm not sure what your skill level is, but I would suggest studying the code, starting in on a patch for one or more of these features, and then corresponding with the module's maintainers to improve your patch to the point where it can be accepted.
